Mid October almost and in league terms we have got to be happy Sitting 3rd in the league our one and only Shane Owen sitting top of the goalies stats with 2 shutouts What a find he has been We are also doing this with 3 import d out injured or missing from the roster Throw in Haines,Touron and Jackman we have to get better right? We still have offence that are trying to find their goal scoring touch The challenge cup has had its ups and downs but we beat Clan in regulation this weekend and that should see us qualify and see our regular 1/4 final opponents in Nottingham Panthers What a difference a week makes in hockey if we can keep this up this could well be our best season yet

I think it's still a bit early to say how things will turn out but I do think that with this group of players we may have our best season yet.
Only time will tell.

Not Convinced we wont have a season like each one that has passed, Streaks of wins followed by streaks of losing. We do have the makings of a good team but our squad depth I still think will hurt us over a long season. Take the defence Paquet out to start with then Jackman and Turon. The Follmer situation was just a joke. We have already put serious minutes into Moyer and Paquet and we are only what 5 weeks into the season. Wouldn't be surprised if those guys are already carrying a few niggles.
I still think our ability to win games in based around a few guys having great games (Dingle and Owen) rather than us having a well thought out game plan. Again we could easily be sitting here next week having watched a great couple of wins over the Clan or picking the bones out of a few terrible performances. We are consistent at being inconsistent.
There are some very positive signs but over the games so far there are almost as many negatives on display (we are holding onto a challenge cup place by the skin of our teeth after a poor series of games). I would say we need a few changes to the squad to really put us in a with a chance of a top half placing in the league. By the end of this month we will have a far clearer picture I would say.
